Abstract

Over the last ten years, there has been a substantial increase in the number of children and adolescents referred to gender clinics for possible gender dysphoria. The gender affirming model of care, a dominant treatment approach in Canada, is based on low quality evidence. Other countries are realizing this and making psychosocial treatments and/or exploratory psychotherapy a first line of treatment for gender related distress in young patients. Psychodynamic (exploratory) psychotherapy has established efficacy for a range of conditions, and has been used in youth and adults with gender dysphoria. In Canada, the adoption of psychodynamic psychotherapy for gender dysphoria is impeded by some academics who argue that it may violate laws against conversion therapy. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is not conversion therapy and should be made available in Canada as a treatment modality for gender dysphoria.

针对性别焦虑症的心理动力学心理疗法不是转换疗法。
在过去的十年中,因可能出现性别障碍而被转诊到性别诊所的儿童和青少年人数大幅增加。在加拿大,性别平权护理模式是一种主要的治疗方法,但其依据的证据质量却很低。其他国家也意识到了这一点,并将社会心理治疗和/或探索性心理治疗作为治疗年轻患者性别相关困扰的第一线治疗方法。心理动力学(探索性)心理疗法已被证实对多种疾病具有疗效,并已用于患有性别焦虑症的青少年和成年人。在加拿大,一些学者认为心理动力学心理疗法可能会违反禁止转换疗法的法律,这阻碍了采用心理动力学心理疗法治疗性别障碍。心理动力学心理疗法不是转换疗法,加拿大应将其作为治疗性别焦虑症的一种方法。
